A White Horse Dies.
Philadelphia News

The original rcd- headed girl-and white horse philosopher, who has never yet failed 10 find his white horse when there was red headed girl in sight. and who is as devoted to the belief that a girl with a crowninR glory of hamboyant hue draws upon the vitality of horse, as he is to his faith in whisky and water AS cure for chill, met a Ncms reporter this morning and related fl marvellous ex- pcrience lac had yesterday afternoon. "I was coming over on the Market street ferry, about three o'clock ycs- teriay afternoon" he said, "and 1 mo- tlced seven girls on the boat. By their c0nversation and from the siza of their wads of chewing gum, inferred that they were from the Burlington Fc- male Seminary, and were coming to Philadelphia to see what Chestnut street Is like on Sunday afternoon.
 "The remarkable thing about them was that the seven girls were crowned with heads Of red hair The hair WAS of as many shades of rel as there were heads, yet all were A pronounced and positive red.
 T immediately began to look for my white horse, but there wasn't 4 four footed animal on the boat. Ar rived at the Philadelphia side the seven lively young ladies, with the seven red heads, made break for Del aware avenue, and there they were met by their white horse, and q sorry meeting 1t proved to be to the poor animal There was but one horse to go around among seven girls. lie turned Into Delaware avenue from Market street and halted right by the gate leading from the ferry house. He evidently had not seen red headed girl all day, for when the first one came through tine gate look oi pifas- ure came in the white horse's eyes, and he opened his jaws to utter fl weIcom- Ing whinny when the second girl came through the gate. His whinny was lost In his throat He had hardly re- covered when number three came through. He dropped one ear oyer his right eye and hung his head. At the sight of number four he began to tI einble, and when number five ap- peared in view he spread his four legs in the weak attempt to brace himself, but when six and seven stepped out together he made one despalring effort to pull himself together to withstand the shock, but 1t wasn't in him. He attempted to neigh, but the sound that came from his throat resembIed more the words Get your hair dyed' than anything else, and he dropped dead where he stood. Seven red headed girls were too much for him."

Oil ouellinr an Angry Sea.

Lieutenant V, l. Cottman. in the Forum,
 A frequent cause of disaster to ships is tho breaking ot seas over them. and on this point tho hydrographer of the United States has published within the last two years, in pamphlet form, digested from the "Monthly Pilot Chart" list off hundred and twenty authenticated cases in which furious seas were allayed by the use oi oil :: the latest proof of which Is furnished by Captain Wales, of the British steamer "Ncw Guinea" as follows;
 "In January of the present year, nmSiux passage ium Baltimore to Antwerp, encountered very heavy western gale, accompanied by tre- mendous sea. Considerable damage had been done to the boats and about the decks by the scas coming over the side. and the captain, wishing to avoid heaving the vessel to, if possible, de- cided to try tho effects oi oil, his at- tention having been called to it by the perusal of printed accounts, Two men were stationed forward d--one at each closet with ordinary soup and bully cans filled with raw linseed oil, the bottoms of the cans having been punched with two ar three small holes. The oil was allowed Ia tricklc into tho bowl and thence into tho sea, with what seemed to the captain wonderful effect. The oil-slick cx- tended we'll out on either quarter, and so far astern that not Il single sca broke on board after the use oi the oil was begun"
 The captain described he manner l in which the great white crested seas would come roaring after the ship. as if they would sweep her decks fore and att and how, on meeting the oil slick, the crest nl the sea would appar- ently he shattered into fine spray, and nothing left of the tremendous breaker but an enormous swell, over which the vessel rode easily and without taking drop of water. The captain gave his personal attention to the OK pen1iture of oil, regulating its flow by stopping one or morn of the holes in the can when more than was ncccs- sary ran out, and in this way he sue ceeded in making seven gallons of oil last twenty four hours, All this time his decks were almost absolutely dry. the only water coming on board being the fine spray from the crest of each wave as il came into contact with the oil slick. and was blown on board by the wind. Captain Wales adds that he makes a point of using oil when even not absolutely necessary, as it adds so much to the comfort of all on board, and eases the ship. It would seem to be tho part of discretion, now that tho question of using oil in such cases Is finally settled, that all ships be regularly equipped with appli- anccs for casting oil on the water, just as they are compelled to carry lights and compasscs "Sea breakers" planccs for the distribution of the oil --have been patented both at homo and abroad, and arc now used by all cattle-carryiDg steamers alid some other vessels. Special oil is now man ufacturcd for this purpose

Money Recnxered.

After the railroad disaster at The Needles,
on the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad, some
months ago. it was intimated that the
wreck had been caused by robbers, who
knew that Wells, Fargo & Co. had about
Sl00,0 on board. The officers of the COM
pany admitted that several thousand dol
lars of the money had disappeared and had
probably been stolen. Passengers told of
seeing strange men about the wreck, wear
ing long oyercoats. who afterward mounted
horses and rode away. The money recoy-
cred was brought to this city and reshipped,
with the deficiency made good by the ex-
press company, SO that again train went
over with about 100000 on board. The
robbers seem not to have been satisfied
with the first haul, for the second train
went through broken bridge at Wagon
Mound, forty miles east of Las Vegas, and
was wrecked, and the express messenger
was severely burned. 1t now appears that
the wreckers were more successful than in
their first. attempt, for James II. Hume.
Wells, Fargo & Co.'S detective, has been for
a month past engaged in searching New
Mexico for parties who are alleged to have
stolen $1,000 of the money at the time of
the Wagon Mound disaster. About 81 200
was dug out of the debris and $91 $40 in
gold was rescued in perfect condition after
the last disaster. In the former one over
5000 was melted with the heat of the
burning cars. The net proceeds to the rob-
bers from the two robberies were little
less than $40, ,00o.-.S. f. Chronicle.

PRISON DIRECTOR HENDRICKS.

Pertinent Suggestions.

SACRAMENTO, April %, 1887.
To Washington Bartlett, Governor of the
State Of CdlJornia-DEAR GOVERNOR: |
hereby most respectfully tender you nv
resignation as member of the State Board
of Prison Directors.
1t is perhaps pertinent for me in this con-
nection to briefly state some of my reasons
for doing so, and the conflicts of feeling |
have had on the subject in determining such
action.
have become very much interested in
the subject of crime and its treatment, and
on that account disliked severing nv con-
nection with the prisons. Knowing, also.
that there was a strong feeling in favor of
making prison management partisan, and
being earnestly opposed to so doing, | en-
tertaiRed reluctantly any thought that had
even the appearance Of deserving a princi-
pie for the selfish purpose OF personal
comfort
feel that although under the genius of
our Government parties must exist. and
that the offices are necessary to keep UP
parties, and that generally speaking, to
the victor belongs the spoils," vet in insti-
tutlons like the prisons, where the lives
and destinies of thousands of persons are
involved, and tens of thousands of their
friends are interested, that the management
ought, by all means, TO be on a plain above
party. l believe very strongly that the
first move in prison reform is to completely
divorce the entire subject from parties, thus
rendering all penal institutions absolutely
non-partisan. But if the aforementioned
political danger ever existed, it has passed
And finding that my duties as Secretary
of State will not permit the time that
ought to be devoted to the prison subject
by q Director, and feeling that / am sacri-
ficing no principle, and that good resalts
alone will follow my resignation, have,
as above stated, determined upon such ac-
ton, and hope to be informed of your ap-
proval.
With deep interest in the prison cause,
and the most profound regard for you per-
sonally, and with best wishes for the sue
cess of your administration, remain most
sincerely yours, w c. HENDRICKS.

CITY OF MEXICO. April 22d.-The con-
stitutional amendment passed the House
OF Deputies last night by an Overwhelming
majority. Trinidad Garcie took the floor
soon after the session opened, and spoke

lowed. A. Lancaster Jones, of Jalisco,
leader of the amendment forces, closed the
debate. On call of the roll, ia Deputies
voted for the amendment, and only 10 went
on record against it.
The proposition allows one e-election of

The amendment now goes to the Senate,
where ii viii probably be passed without
debate. Its ratification by the State Legis-
latures is said TO be assured On the an
nouncement of the vote the spectators who
crowded the galleries shouted and how,ed
and pounded the floor, while the Deputies
below congratulated each other in the most
extravagant manner Most of the Dia5
Cabinet ware present and manifested much
satisfaction.
By Americans here this action is inter
preted as meaning the reelection of Diaz,

railroad stocks and Government securities.
